We looked at "Microsoft Works 2000:  Complete Concepts and Techniques"
by
Shelly, Cashman, & Gunter (Shelly Cashman Series) and "Microsoft Works
2000" by Michael Halvorson (Illustrated Series).  Both books are from
Thompson Learning:  Course Technology (Publishers).  We are going to use
the Halvorson book for a number of reasons, appropriate material,
grade-level reading, cost (29.50 vs. 65), replacement cost, accurate
illustrations, resource materials (1 teacher pack & 1 student pack per
15
books ordered-similar to Horizons 3.0).  The "Shelly Cashman" book seems
to be a really good book, but it's more book than we want at this level.
Hope this helps.
